Patent CA-2488306-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITMORE DAVID
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 2004-11-24
Abstract: Cathodic protection of steel in a building or other concrete or similar structure is provided by locating an anode in a suitable location adjacent to the steel and providing an impressed current from a power supply to the anode. The anode is formed from a material which is more electro-negative than the steel so that in the event that the power supply falls below the galvanic potential therebetween, current flows under galvanic action to replace the impressed current. A diode in the circuit prevents flow of current across the power supply but allows the galvanic current when the power supply fails open circuit. An additional diode can be provided in the event the power supply fails closed circuit to prevent reverse current flow.

Title: Therapeutic exercise system and method for a paralyzed and nonparalyzed neuromusculoskeletal training system
Inventor: SHIELDS RICHARD
IPC: A63B71/00
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise method for the elderly, individuals with impaired joint control, and a system for individuals who are suffering from muscular paralysis and who may or may not be confined to a wheelchair by the implementation of an exercise device that can safely provide actively supported standing exercise options to persons who either have limited physical mobility or complete loss of mobility due to muscular paralysis. An embodiment of the present invention relates to a standing wheelchair (205) that is used to passively restrain an operator. The axial and tangential loads that are exerted upon the skeletal system of the operator are derived and recorded from a force-sensing device (315). Further, an angle or position sensor (305B) is situated in contact with the standing wheelchair (205) or standing exercise system in such a manner that the standing angle of an individual or the angle of the standing wheelchair can be logged and stored for long periods of time.

Title: Baffle for increased capture of popcorn ash in economizer hoppers
Inventor: RYAN ANTHONY M
IPC: F23J3/04
Filed: 2005-01-10
Abstract: A baffle employs a particular arrangement of baffle plates in a three dimensional configuration to aerodynamically separate popcorn ash particles from a flue gas flow. The baffle is attached to the rear wall of an economizer outlet flue back pass and is placed just below the economizer gas outlet. The baffle is designed to be uniquely shaped in three dimensions to redirect the large popcorn ash particles towards the deepest parts of the hoppers, which increases the fraction of the ash particles that are captured in the hoppers and decreases the potential for plugging in downstream equipment. The baffle is comprised of several triangular plates, usually three plates for every hopper. Each group of three plates is placed such that they appear to be three sides of an inverted pyramid. The open, fourth side of each of these pyramid shapes is on the side of the baffle closest to the front wall. The sizes and angles of the triangular plates are optimized for a maximum capture rate of popcorn ash particles by taking into account the particles' size, aerodynamic properties, and coefficient of restitution as well as the size, slopes, and position of the hoppers. The flue gas flow rate, pressure drop, and the possibility of ash accumulation on the top of the baffle are also taken into consideration.

Inventor: HOLLAND ERIC CHARLES
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a transgenic animal expressing the reporter gene, luciferase, driven by a promoter (e.g. the E2F1 promoter) that acts as a sensor of cell cycle. The luciferase substrate, luciferin, emits light when metabolized, and the light is transmitted through mammalian tissues.  Therefore, the transgenic animal model of the present invention allows for monitoring of areas of major cell cycle activity, a characteristic of cancer cells, under adequate visualization conditions. These transgenic animals are useful as in vivo models for testing preventative measures for cancer as well as for testing novel therapeutic modalities.
